Here it is - fresh off the lathe. My first attempt at applying a CA finish. Black Titanium Baron with Extra Curly Koa. Wood and kit from penblanks.ca.
This wood is beautiful and I can't wait to turn the other five blanks I bought.

Hi Bob,

Very nice work. Nice finish using CA.
Did you use CA Only or CA/BOL?
Did you polish with MM?

Wow, that's amazing, I've not turned Koa yet. That finish looks a foot thick, I love it! Nice work :)

CA only and MM. It worked out well.

Gorgeous, Bob!! The curl in that Koa is amazing - and you did a terrific job with the finish. Sure looks different than that pack of blanks you got from us in Ottawa...:D

Great job on the finish. Nice looking pen and wood. Will have to keep that one in mind for my next order.

Excellent work Bob, that finish is stunning.
I like the Black Ti kits, but i think that the gold may work better on this wood, just my own opinion though.
